History YMMV / AnnaDressedInBlood

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad The Obeahman]] is a voodoo ghost/demon hybrid who takes large chunks out of his victims. His first known victim is [[TheProtagonist Cas Lowood]]'s father, who was killed when Cas was only seven years old, leaving the latter traumatized and suffering nightmares. Ten years later, the Obeahman returns, killing three more victims. He had been following the Lowoods since murdering Cas's father, eventually killing their cat Tybalt as well. As Cas and his friends fight him, Anna pulls off a HeroicSacrifice by opening a portal to Hell and dragging the Obeahman down with her. A year later, Cas discovers that, while both are in hell, the Obeahman has been torturing Anna the whole time. When Cas and another girl, Jestine, make their way to a part of Hell, they find that the Obeahman had transformed into a [[SpidersAreScary spider-like creature]] that had linked Anna to it, sewing Anna's eyes and mouth shut before harvesting her. While fighting the creature, Cas recognized other nearby ghosts--some innocent--and realizes that the Obeahman had been haunting his [[ArtifactOfDoom athame]], and has been feeding off these spirits.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: The Obeahman]], a.k.a. the ghost that killed Cas's father, [[spoiler: is a voodoo ghost/demon hybrid]] who also serves as the BigBad of the duology. Although he doesn't make an appearance until the climax of the first book, his crimes of chomping out large chunks of his victims do not go unnoticed throughout the story. The first of his victims we know of is Cas's father when Cas was only seven years old, resulting in the boy being traumatized over the death and having repetitive nightmares. Ten years later, [[spoiler: the Obeahman]] returns with devouring three more victims: [[spoiler: Will, Chase,]] and an unfortunate jogger who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. As it turns out, he had been following the Lowoods since the death of Cas's father, [[HeWasRightThereAllAlong hiding in their attic almost the entire time.]] Although Cas and his mother had a pet cat, Tybalt, to scope out any weird hoo-haa's in their new house, they surmised his hissing at nothing throughout the first book as meaningless until [[spoiler: it was too late, and the Obeahman had killed Tybalt as well]]. As Cas and his friends, Anna included, fight him, one of them is injured in the leg, and to prevent any more harm on the heroes, or anyone, Anna [[spoiler: pulls off a HeroicSacrifice by opening a portal to Hell and dragging the Obeahman down with her. When everything seems to be settling back to normal, a year later, Cas discovers that Anna and the Obeahman were not being treated equally down in Hell; in fact, the Obeahman has been torturing Anna the whole time since she dragged him to Hell. When Cas and another girl, Jestine, make their way to "the other side" (a part of Hell), they find that the Obeahman had transformed from a voodoo man to some creepy spider-like creature that had linked Anna to It, sewing Anna's eyes and mouth shut before harvesting her. When they try to save her, It whacks Jestine away, nearly killing her, and Cas must fight It on his own. As he is, he notices the other ghosts that were stuck in the Obeahman's spot of Hell were also either ghosts he or his father had "sent away" using the athame or had been bitten to death by the Obeahman (including his father, his cat, and Will). He realizes by this point that the Obeahman had been haunting his athame, and has been feeding off of all these spirits, most of them which don't deserve to be in Hell, for Lord knows how long. Cas nearly gets himself butchered when battling the Obeahman, but once he defeats It, It's death releases all the spirits that had been trapped on the "other side" for so long, as well as free Anna herself from the Obeahman.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Downplayed.  In the second book, there's a moment when Cas finds Thomas (who is heartbroken after [[spoiler: Carmel leaves the group]]) in his room [[CigaretteOfAnxiety smoking]], noticing three full ashtrays worth of cigarettes as well.  Once [[ItMakesSenseInContext they have to leave for London,]] the habit is completely dropped, and Thomas shows no signs of withdrawl or getting hooked back into the habit.  Nobody else makes any mention of it either, as if it never happened.

* CompleteMonster:
** [[spoiler: the Obeahman.]]
** [[spoiler: Anna's mother, who not only refused to let Anna pursue anything besides eventually taking over he boarding house and also called her own daughter a whore for wanting to go to her school dance, but ''also'' murdered Anna in cold blood in a fit of rage when Anna finally chose to fight back, ''and'' uses a demon to curse Anna to be trapped in their home for eternity on top of that, ensuring that Anna would never be able to rest in peace.]]
** [[spoiler: Anna's stepfather, who abused her both sexually and physically. When Anna's mother orders him to rip off Anna's dress, ''[[{{Squick}} he licks his lips.]]'']]

* {{Squick}}: [[spoiler: Elias, the fiancee of Anna's mother, who not only creeps on Anna, but even smells the dress that she planned to wear to the dance. When Anna tries to leave for the dance, Anna's own mother [[CompleteMonster tells him to take it off her]]. He looks far too delighted.]]

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:Anna's own mother, who either didn't notice or didn't care that her fiancee was paying far too much attention to her daughter. Then she kills Anna, and just to spite her daughter, she binds her spirit to the house with black magic so she can never leave.]]
